...sine die. Sir John Simon, after telephoning Prime Minister MacDonald, seemed at first to agree with the Italians but after sharp debate Mr. Davis and M. Paul Boncour won their points. Conference President Arthur Henderson was authorized to send Germany a stiff note scoring her reasons for withdrawal as "invalid." It was decided to resume Conference work, after a brief recess...
...short time after it was her spaniel Flush. Perhaps to show that of the making of biographies there is no end, perhaps because such a dog's-eye-view of human romance appealed to her originality, Virginia Woolf has written a vignette in which both Flush and his invalid mistress are brought touchingly to life. If at times Flush seems more Woolf than spaniel, his biographer smilingly admits that "there are very few authorities" for so circumstantial, so authoritative an account...
Flush was a red cocker spaniel of good breeding whose puppyhood was passed in the pleasant English countryside near Reading. Before he was out of his doggy teens he had tasted the pleasures of love and was a father. Then his owner, Miss Mitford, gave him to her invalid friend, Elizabeth Barrett.

The National Education Association, which works hand-in-glove with the Office of Education, announced a program by which teachers would re-interpret textbooks, explaining to children why such maxims as "Competition is the life of trade" and "A penny saved is a penny earned" are at present invalid. Whether or not NRA is of immediate benefit to Education, Dr. Zook predicts it will widen Education's bounds. The child labor ban will put 100,000 new pupils in the high schools. And the increase of leisure will increase the demand for adult education, by which teachers...
